Picking Up What They’re Putting Down: Get the Most Out of Your Buyers’ Signals
Learn more
In B2B, the real function of marketing isn’t to directly deliver more deals, it’s to increase the probability of sales closing more deals. Provocative? We don’t think so. As B2B marketers, our methodologies and toolsets have been developed to create the perfect conditions for healthier pipelines, not to manage the pipelines themselves. In nerdy analytics terms, we’re collaborating with others in the GTM in an end-to-end process that connects probabilistic and deterministic methodologies together. Given where buyers are today, we believe that by internalizing this understanding of what marketing does best, it will help empower us to deliver better marketing. But first and foremost, it’s only by understanding buyers better that we can best drive the B2B marketing changes necessary.
Beginning with a look at the very latest research, in this session, Kerry Cunningham (6sense’s renowned thought leader), and John Steinert (TechTarget CMO) will take advantage of their companies’ new partnership to discuss the very real opportunities marketers have today to be more effective. They will further explain probabilistic and deterministic concepts and then provide specific guidance on how the latest data and tools can help drive useful changes for better GTM results.
Viewers will come away with valuable insights, including:
- An understanding of the deterministic/probabilistic dichotomy in B2B marketing.
- Practical knowledge on how to incorporate these concepts into effective tools and tactics.
- Strategies for understanding buying groups and how to engage with them early in their journey to influence decisions effectively.

What Will Attract Buyers in an AI-Infused Future?
Learn more
Your go-to-market intersects with potential buyers in three major areas. First is your R&D and what you choose to develop as products, features and packaging. Second is through your marketing, your positioning, messaging, targeting and channel mix, etc. Last, of course, is your sales execution, from opportunity creation, to pipeline management, to close. End-to-end, it’s a complex operational value chain where each part significantly impacts the others. And despite a huge rise in GTM-tech investment, achieving appreciable improvement seems to actually be getting harder.
Join TechTarget President Rebecca Kitchens and CMO John Steinert for a strategic discussion about what’s happening in tech markets and vendor GTMs. They’ll cover where things are, where they see things going, and what they believe should be recognized and addressed by every company looking to grow business with its ICPs.
11:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM BST
Bring Back the Classics: Why Classic Content Captivates Audiences
Learn more
As the drum beat for high-quality and valuable content from B2B buyers grows stronger, marketers are under pressure to identify new and innovative types of content, while also scaling their content engine. For some teams, this means exploring new resources, like generative AI (GenAI), while others look to creating new content formats. At times, the endless cycle can feel exhausting, if not a bit maddening.
Join Robert Rose, Chief Strategy Officer at The Content Advisory and Content Marketing Institute, for an in-depth discussion with Fiona O’Connor, Senior Manager, Marketing Programs, TechTarget, on the impact of classic content – content that provides new audiences with value and provides existing audiences with ongoing value – can have on your audience engagement. They’ll cover the characteristics of classic content, why it’s different from evergreen content and why it should be a part of your content strategy. You’ll leave with a blueprint for creating classic content and how to balance it with other content types for an effective content marketing strategy.

The Four Sins of ABM and How to Overcome Them
Learn more
Account-based marketing has become a critical focus area in B2B for teams looking to build business with high-potential accounts and solidify revenue streams. While the allure of growable ARR and dependable NRR make perfect sense, the path to substantive ABM success trips up many organizations that dive in under-prepared. Go-to-market teams built for volume typically stumble over four major obstacles they haven’t had to contend with before. Until they solve for these, they commonly remain stuck, begin finger-pointing, and not infrequently decide to reverse directions back to where they started from.
In this webinar, TechTarget’s CMO, John Steinert, and leading revenue operations practitioner Josh Hill will discuss four of the major pitfalls they’ve seen derail many ABM efforts. (Hint: neglecting the buying team is a big one.) Join us as we discuss what to watch out for in your own organization, and how to work your way through to the solutions you’ll need to succeed.
1:00 PM EDT / 6:00 PM BST
A Spoonful of Trial & Practice: How Collaboration and Partnership Can Produce Integrated Marketing
Learn more

What’s the best path forward?
In this webinar learn from Upland InterFAX’s Senior Marketing Manager, Ginger Swann, and TechTarget’s Manager of Customer Success, Ellie Mancini, about their collaboration and partnership in creating an integrated approach to intent marketing.

Innovation Inside Out: Bringing Buying Groups to Life at Palo Alto Networks
Learn more
For complex and expensive B2B purchase decisions, everyone understands the logic of Buying Group thinking — heck, most of us are already participants in the process! And we all know that MQLs are interesting signals, they’re just not very strong or predictive on their own. So, if the new ideas about long-needed lead management changes make so much sense, why hasn’t everyone jumped right in on making it happen? That’s the question we asked Palo Alto Networks’ Jeremy Schwartz. And he’s able to explain the key challenges and how they’re working their way through every single one.
Join Jeremy and TechTarget CMO John Steinert as they discuss how Jeremy is helping to drive GTM innovation from the inside. They’ll cover the business benefits of the Buying Groups concept; how to think about it, communicate it, and work through the change management elements necessary to bring it to life in a global leading-edge corporation.
11:00 PM EDT / 4:00 AM BST +1
A Deep Dive into the APAC Tech Purchasing Team
Learn more
We hear so much about the evolution of technology buying teams. With the rise in on-demand, independent content, self-enabled journeys are now the norm. On top of that, disruptive technologies like cloud adoption, GenAI, cybersecurity defenses and automation mean marketers need material to appeal to the information needs of widespread roles across the buying team.
In this webinar, we tackle today’s APAC technology purchasing committee. We’ll set the stage with some groundbreaking new research into the composition of the committee, buying needs specific to the region, and the state of vendor loyalty. You’ll then hear directly from technology buyers in Singapore and Australia about how their purchases are vetted and how you can be part of their buying journey.
